Does anyone know? I'd take a couple now & won't be "on duty" until about 6.30am so is that enough time to get it out of my system??
TIA. -------------

I don't think that you are meant to take it while BF, but I really don't know about the length of time it would take to leave your system. I would probably not risk it, personally, unless you have cleared it with your Dr. ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

You poor thing, I'm so glad that I can take cold & flu tablets again (I had to stop BF... but it has it's perks). Hope you manage to get a good sleep! You could try rubbing vicks on your feet, that's meant to help! Or breathing in some steam over a hot bowl of water, or something?
Hope you get lots of rest  ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

Panadol, honey and lemon drinks? Don't know if they work, but they sure cheer me up

no. You can take this excellent nasal spary, though, OTRAVINE. Totally reccomed it, coupled with panadol. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Thanks girls  . Last night wasn't too bad as I rubbed on lots of Vicks. That stuff totally rocks. And it turns out I was required at 3am so it's just as well really... -------------
